Carmen Electra lit up the red carpet on Wednesday evening when she stepped out for the 2013 Do Something Awards in Hollywood.

Indeed, the 41-year-old model and actress proved to be something of a head- turner thanks to her sweeping electric blue gown as she posed for photos at the annual event’s Avalon venue.

The stunning backless dress clung to Carmen’s shapely figure in all the right places, while its off-the-shoulder detail added a hint of Grecian elegance – an elegance that was further enhanced by its long flowing train.

Speaking to reporters , Carmen admitted she was thrilled to hear that music mogul Simon Cowell – with whom she was romantically linked earlier this year – is expecting a baby.

‘What I witnessed working with him on Britain’s Got Talent and coming to see him during X Factor is that the people he truly believes in, he stands up for them and supports them.’ She told E! News. ‘So I obviously think that his child will be very well taken care and very, very loved.’

The former Playboy model also revealed plans to give straight-talking Cowell a call later that night.
